Answer
The Department of Education is not the employer of school-based staff. The Northern Ireland Supply Teacher Register is administered by the Education Authority (EA). EA has advised that from the period from August 2023 to 10 June 2024 93% of short notice bookings have been successfully filled through the NISTR Short Notice Supply function:
• Number of short notice supply bookings: 4013
• Number of short notice supply notices that have been a successful booking: 3724.
